The most touching thing about this
prohibition campaign is the amount OF
anxiety manifested about personal liberty
AS long as there is such devotion to per-
sonal liberty it may be safely assumed
that the republic is safe. By the way,
what is personal liberty2 Is it not some
what abridged by the ten commandments?

A Bath in the Morning.

In your dressing-room you have soft,
cold water and a sponge, probably placed
there over night, so that it is in the morn
ing of the same temperature as the air
then you have nice, soft Turkish wash
ing glove and piece of plain CASTLE or
ivory soap-not scented; that were dam
gerous to health; then standing before
a basin of hot water the whole body is
quickly lathered and rubbed thoroughly.
This ought not to occupy more than say
three minutes, and after this comes the
cold sponge bath, which need not take
more than minute and half. A mod
erately coarse towel should be used, and
the skin should be thoroughly dried.
Remember that the towel must not be
rough enough to irritate the skin, but
only to produce pleasant glow; remem-
Der, too, that there must be no dawdling
over the bath-dawdle as much as YOU
please while dressing but battle with Judi
cious celebrity and remember, thirdly,
that you must never neglect to wet the
head with cold water, else disagreeable
sensations will be the result. The bath is
to be taken on an empty stomach, and i'm
mediately after getting out of bed. The
slight shock caused by the cold water will
be succeeded by feelings very delightful,
indeed, feelings which | might describe if
| chose, but will not, as | want you to ex-
perience them. There are sponge baths
and plunge baths and shower baths, all OF
which may be taken at home: but for all
forms of household bathing commend me

A hawk can spy lark upon piece OF
earth almost exactly the same color al
twenty times the distance it is percepfible
to man or dog; a kite soaring out of hui
man sight can still distinguish and bounce
upon lizards and field mice on the ground,
and the distance which vultures and eagles
can spy out their preyis almost incredible
Recent discoveries, and especially Darwin S
observations, have inclined naturalists to
the belief that birds of prey have not the
acute sense of smell with which they were
once accredited. Their acute sight seems
better to account for their actions, and they
appear to be guided by sight alone, as they
never sniff at anything, but dart straight at
the object of their desire. Their counter
parts in the ocean, however, undoubtedly
see and smell equally well, but are more
guided by smell than sight In both sharks
and rays the eyes are good, and have a most
distinct expression though since they scent
their prey from a distance, and swim I'D to
it with great rapidity, "smell, )" as Lacepede
SAYS, may be called their real eye" Smell,
in Mr.. Herbert Spencer's definition, is an
ticipatory taste, while sight is anticipatory
touch and the manner in which sight, as
the dominating sense. is substituted for
smell, the higher the evolution OF the ami.
NAL, is remarkably interesting to follow
once the varieties of sight are understood
and both sight and smell are studied in con-
nection with the particular habits of the
creature for which they were designed
Turn where we will, sight and organs OF
sight are everywhere adapted in the most
perfect manner to the necessities of the ami.

believe the truth of the words: THE first

Sharp at a Trade.

A betting man is so dominated by his
passion for gambling that he will make a
wager on anything into which the element
of chance enters. Years ago, when the
cholera was decimating the English in In
dia. it is said that the officers of a certain
regiment used to make bets as to the next
man who should die.
Horrible as is such an act in the pres
ence of death, it is matched by the deed of
certain T'linkits, an Indian tribe in Alaska.
They are noted for driving hard bargains
and stop at nothing in order to enforce
their demands. Lieutenant Schwatka tells
the story TO the independent
A white man ventured in canoe to pass
through the surf on reef in the outer har-
Dor of an Alaskan port. The canoe was
capsized, and the man was rescued by sew
eral Tlinkits, who happened to be near in
their boat, one of whom grasped him by
the hair as he was going down for good -
The Indian. instead of pulling the half
drowned man into the large canoe, held him
in the water until he had promised to paw a
handsome sum of money, to be divided
among the crew.
Lieutenant Schwatka himself fell vic
tim to sharp T'linkit woman. He had
bargained with her TO do some washing.
She took the soiled clothes, and in an hour
returned and demanded her pay. On be-
ing told that she would be paid when the
washing was brought back, she led the
Lieutenant out of doors, and showed him
the washed clothes hanging on the bushes.
Her contract only called for washing. She
had not agreed to bring the clothes back =

FINDING PHARAOH.
The Remains of the Ruler of Egypt in
Moses Time.

In the May Century are two profusely
illustrated articles under the above caption,
describing the discovery of Pharaoh's tomb
and picturing its contents. From the first
article by Mr. Wilson, the photographer,
we quote this account of the way in which
the tomb was located: In line of
tombs beyond the Ramesseum lived four
sturdy Arabs, named Adder Rasoul.
They supplied guides and donkeys to
tourists who desired to visit the ruins of
Thebes, and sold them genuine and spur
ious antiquities. When they found a
mummy, it being forbidden by law to sell
it, the head and hands and feet were
wrenched of and sold on the sly, while
the torso was kicked about the ruined
| temples until the jackals came and carried
it away. purchased a head and hand of
| one of the brothers amid the dark shadows
of the temple at Qurneh. Early in 1881
circumstantial evidence pointed to All
med Aba-erRasoul as the one who
knew more than he would tell. Pro-
feSsor Maspero caused his arrest, and
he lay in prison at Kench for some months.
| He also suffered the bastinado and the
browbeating of the women repeatedly; he
resisted brides, and showed no melting
mood when threatened with execution.
His lips told no more than the unbound
| tomb-and not as much. Finally his
brother Mohammed regarded the offer of
bakshish, which Professor Maspero deemed
it wise to make, as worth more to him than
any sum he might hope to realize from flu
ture pillaging, and made clean breast of
the whole affair. How the four brothers
ever discovered the hidden tomb has re-
manned a family secret On July 5, 1881,
the willy Arab conducted Herr Emil Brugsch
| Bey, curator of the Bulaq Museum, to
! Deir-el-Bahari and pointed out the hiding
place so long looked for. A long climb it
was, up the slope OF the western mountain,
| till, after scaling a great limestone cliff, a
hugh, isolated rock was found. Be-
hind this spot was reached where the
| stones appeared to an expert observer and
! tomb-searcher to have been arranged by
| hand rather than scattered by someupheaval
of nature. There, said the guide; and
there the enterprising Emil Brugsch Bey,
with more than Egyptian alacrity, soon had
a staff of Arabs at work hosting the huge
stones from well into which they had
been thrown. The shaft had been sunk
into the solid limestone to the depth of
| about forty feet, and was about six foot
| square. Before going very far, a huge
| palm-lOg was thrown across the we'll and a
block and tackle fastened to it to help bring
up the debris. When the bottom of the
| shaft was reached a subterranean passage
was found which ran westward some
| twenty-four feet and then turned directly
northward, continuing into the heart of
the mountain straight except where broken
| for about two hundred feet by an abrupt
stairway. The passage terminated in
mortuary chamber about thirteen by
| twenty-three feet in extent and barely six
feet in height. There was found the
| mummy of King Pharaoh of the Oppres-
sion, with nearly forty others of kings,
queens, princes and priests"

rods are quickly drawn into very fine fibers
by straw arrows shot from a cross-bow
One end of the rod is attached to the ar
row and the other is held in fingers,
the required temperature being given the
center Of the rod before the bow is released
Glass is thus extended into the tibers
